Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the WNBA match.
The Minnesota Lynx are on a four-game winning streak. During this stretch, they have only conceded more than 75 points once. On Saturday night, they face the struggling Chicago Sky, whose chances of maintaining the eighth spot are dwindling by the day.
Minnesota Lynx
The Lynx boast the best record in the league (10-1) since the Olympic break. The last time they lost on their home court was back on July 14th. Impressively, they find ways to win in various styles, and their offense always has someone to step up, even if Napheesa Collier is having an off night. In their last game against the Atlanta Dream (76:64), four players scored 12 points and more.
Chicago Sky
The Chicago Sky are going through a notably poor stretch, having lost 8 of their last 10 games. During this period, they only managed to defeat two opponents: the last-placed Los Angeles Sparks and the league's worst defense, the Dallas Wings. Yes, their last encounter with the Lynx ended with a narrow (−5) 74:79 loss. However, that was the night of Angel Reese's standout performance, where she posted a double-double (17 + 19). Since then, she has suffered an injury and is out for the rest of the season.
Minnesota Lynx vs Chicago Sky Prediction
The Chicago Sky appear helpless in offense, even when Chennedy Carter shoots 7 of 13 from the field, as she did against the Washington Mystics (58:89). Against the Minnesota Lynx, the Chicago Sky have no chance.
